Okay, there were only two reasons why I decided to do this video:
One, the lyrics, "Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to earth" reminded me of Ataru in Beautiful Dreamer when he's, well, falling down to earth at the end (and since he's always associated with being born under a bad, or unlucky star)
And two, the lyrics, "Today's on fire / The sky is bleeding above me and I am blistered" reminded me of the one scene in Maison Ikkoku where Godai has just found Kyoko's dog and Godai reminds Kyoko of Soichiro as it's a sunset and the sky is so red.
Otherwise, I'll be the first to admit that Finch's "What it is to Burn" doesn't exactly go to well with Urusei Yatsura or Maison Ikkoku. However, upon watching the video over again, it's not as bad as I initially thought and perhaps I'm just being too hard on myself. There are some really good parts in it (like the ones mentioned above, plus a few others, like the end with Ataru and Lum). I tried my best to cut out the "bridge," if you can even call it that, where he keeps on screaming "She Burns," like eight times, because it really didn't work well with anything from Urusei Yatsura or Maison Ikkoku, so hopefully it doesn't sound too disjointed. Still, for the end of the video, as well as the parts mentioned above as well as a couple more, it's worth watching. And the rest isn't bad; it's just average, I guess.
Anyway, here are the lyrics:
She burns
Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day
And still:
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside
So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory?
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
Today is fire, and she burns
Today is fire, and she burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
Anyway, give it a try. I might be being too hard on it because I do enjoy watching it. It's just not one of my favorites.
